Last night was fairly active for tornados in our part of the state. At least three touched down in eastern Edwards County, and at least one in the western half. We lost a couple houses near the Pratt county line (no injuries there); on on U50 at the Stafford county line (1 leg injury), and some outbuildings, power poles and trees along the Arkansas river.
We got lucky; a tornado took out a couple of outbuildings out at my cousins house, and put a 2x4 in the outside wall. They live about 3/4 mi south of town. A half mile north and we wouldn't have a football field, about a mile northwest and we'd be out a hospital (and my house).
Other tornados skirted around Greensburg and Haviland, and Protection made CNN's front page.
We got lucky.
The best part; the forecast for tonight [Saturday] is more of the same. I think, when I get home, I'm going to pop open one of my delicious Boulevard Unfiltered Wheats before I go to bed.
